Black mold on or in anything should raise some alarms.
A couple of majors are:
Do not use the compromised holding tank as a potable water source.
Let chlorine treated water settle for several hours, overnight is good, 24 hrs is also good.
Multiple treatments is an option.
CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN.... RINSE, RINSE, RINSE
Treat ALL sources, water tank, hot water tank, outside shower, bathroom etc. etc.
To much chlorine can affect your digestive system... so rinse well and rinse again.
Every spring SUPER treat the tank, let the water stand overnight and take trailer for a highway run, reasonable bumpy run is good to swish the mixture around the tank.
PS: you can also take the opportunity to clean your black water tank and the level sensors by adding a mixture of water, ice cubes and baking soda to the holding tank... the travel motion will swoosh the water mixture and ice to clean the sensor probes.
Once treated you should have your water tank source professionally water tested. The cost is worth it.
